Banks and Presentable Rikkie return to record together after a couple weeks off due to COVID-19. The duo was smart enough to record prior to Mother's Day but Banks was foolish enough to think he'd have time to edit the recording.

This week the duo talks about Amhaud Arbery and their feelings on the murder of another innocent black man; especially with having son's of their own. Also discussed is a relationship post that came across one of their Twitter feeds - men aren't loved until they make money? How do Banks and Presentable Rikkie feel about such a statement?

In this week's episode Presentable Rikkie discusses "Community"!! Presentable talks about how we are failing the community and how we can change things. It presents the question, How is the community looked at now? What type of community do you want to live in? What type of community are we leaving for our kids? What are we teaching our kids about our community? How are we ensuring that our kids will work together to have a better community?

The follow up and conclusion to last weeks episode, this week's Banks flips the script and interviews Presentable Rikkie. If you didn't get a chance to listen to part 1, please give that episode a listen first.

From the outside looking in Presentable Rikkie seems to be an arrogant, selfish, self-centered jerk but is that really who he is? Who does he care about? How does the son of a preacher man (queue music) really feel about religion? What makes him smile? Banks gets the chance to put Presentable Rikkie on the hot seat to answer these questions and more.

Tune is this week to find out.

The trio sits down and discusses their thoughts and feelings on a topic first brought up by Rickey Smiley - Does America have a problem with boys wearing dreads but embraces Black boys in dresses?

Also, Banks and Rikkie have a bit of a difference of opinion on how one should react in a scenario in which the father is no longer with the mother...Banks seems to have a lot of unresolved issues as the two of them go back and forth briefly on the topic.

Banks and Presentable Rikkie are back and this week Banks decided to switch things up a bit and not discuss this weeks topics with Presentable Rikkie to get a more raw response from his cohort. This week the duo dives into the two topics that are suppose to never be discussed in public, politics and religion. The two discuss both in depth and why they believe it's important to have a conversation about those two specific topics with children. At some point during the conversation Banks was feeling himself a bit too much and well you can guess where this weeks episode title comes from.
